In the sustainable development, the physical aspects of man-made areas are of great importance. This paper, in order to quantify the growth pattern of human-made areas, the relationship of built-up areas of Golestan province with ground surface temperature using six landmarks including number of patches, largest patch index, shape index, nearest Euclidean distance, aggregation and Cohen examines. The selection of measures should be based on criteria such as independence between the measures. Statistical analysis of correlation between measures showed that there was no correlation between them. Landscape measurements were extracted by using Fragstats software. The results of Landscape analysis also showed that Gorgan city has the highest homogeneous structure and Maraveh Tepe city has the most inappropriate human-made structure. Landscape ecology studies are based on the importance of spatial structure on ecological processes. For this purpose, the statistical relationship between the structure and surface temperature of the earth was investigated using Pearson correlation coefficient. Surface temperature data were also extracted from the Madis sensor data. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the shape of the structure and the surface temperature. The man-made areas have a more complex shape and the surface temperature of these areas is higher than in other areas.
